Educating for justice is our mission. We offer a rich, four-year liberal arts education, focusing on the themes of fairness, equity and justice. We encourage robust debate on the critical issues facing our society, promote rigorous thinking and writing, and foster deep understanding of the human condition. Our 15,000 students, both undergraduates and graduate stu- dents, reflect the broad diversity of New York City and the world beyond. The students and the staff include different races, eth- nic groups, ages, nationalities, religions and career interests. We consider John Jay a close-knit community, global in outlook and reach, located on the West Side of Manhattan. We celebrate the energy and commitment of our student body. In this bulletin, you will learn about the 22 undergraduate ma- jors we offer. Some are directly related to criminal justice. Others concentrate in the Liberal Arts. All these challenging programs meet the highest academic and professional standards and will prepare you for a wide range of careers including graduate stud- ies or law school.
